Don, Megan Quann, and Mickey during the Olympic Trials. We were working security on this particular day and a young lady came over and sat next to us, I asked her how she had done, she said she won the 100 yard breastroke, little did we know that she would be the Olymic Champion and on the front page of Sports Illustrated. She is just 16 years old-how do they get so good so young.
